Collingwood Magpies vs Richmond Tigers Preview
It’s been a season to forget for the Pies, who suffered their worst loss of the year against the Hawks. Despite their position at the bottom of the ladder, the Tigers have shown resilience and could pull off a major upset.
The Pies’ defensive issues have made them vulnerable, especially in centre clearances and fast breaks, giving any team a chance against them. Richmond’s forward pressure has been strong, and if they capitalize on contest-to-contest opportunities, they could cause problems for Collingwood.
Both teams struggle with inside 50s, but Richmond’s poor conversion rate is a concern. While the Tigers may keep it close, Collingwood’s class might eventually prevail. The Pies’ season has been rough, but a turnaround is always possible with the right performance.
Head To Head Bet
